Eric Dupree has travelled the world, seeing and doing it all as a Navy Seal. Now as part owner at Rossi Security, Inc., he jumps at the opportunity to relocate to L.A. and become managing partner for the new Decadence Club opening there as well. Being Master Dom at Decadence LA is right up his alley. The Club is successful and Rossi is growing by leaps and bounds. He should be thrilled, but something is missing. As he approaches middle age, he finds that he needs more than his bachelor lifestyle can give him. In walks Valerie Thornton, widow, mother and BDSM innocent. What has brought her to his club of all places, and why can't he get her out of his mind? Valerie is suffering from an empty-nest. No longer can she distract herself with her children and volunteer activities. She has long suppressed her desire for a strong man, who can nurture those desires and bring the submissive inside her to life. When a mysterious invitation to a new BDSM club arrives in her mailbox, she sees it as a fateful intervention. Marshaling her nerve and cramming herself into a little leather skirt are no small deeds. Walking into the most exclusive club in L.A., Valerie is overwhelmed by the testosterone filled atmosphere, each man she see seems to be more handsome and sexier than the next. Then she meets Eric, the owner manager, who takes her breath away. He seems perfect and she knows he could bring her secret fantasies to life. She's ready to throw herself at his feet, but refrains. How could he possibly be interested in a forty-year-old widow and BDSM novice like herself?

The only woman he wants is the one he knows he shouldn't have. For over two decades, Commander Flynn Dalton has been relentlessly committed to his service as a Navy SEAL. But now that he's settled at Coronado Island, the demands of his career have changed and he’s ready to settle down. Although he can't stop thinking about a certain shy beauty, he knows she's far too young and innocent, and off limits since she works with him at the base. Computer analyst Cassie Hardwick has resigned herself to being permanently relegated to the friend zone by the man of her dreams. To take her mind off Flynn, she's ready to dive back into the lifestyle and unleash her wild side. Mingling anonymously at Decadence LA's masquerade mixer seems like the perfect opportunity. After flirting up a storm with an incognito charmer, both Cassie and her suitor are in for quite the surprise when the masks finally come off at midnight.

Five years is a long time to be alone, especially for a submissive. Despite a near-eternity without the protective, quiver-inducing touch of a master, Esme Spade remains on the sidelines—even inside the walls of Club Decadence. Though several Doms would gladly have her, she can't seem to do anything more than watch, despite the club's unwritten 'no gawkers' policy. Keiran Finnegan has no time to break in a new submissive. He's also a man who knows what he wants, and there's something about the obviously-wounded Esme that is exactly what he's been longing for. Will his skilled touch, quiet dominance, and unwavering persistence be enough to revive the spirited beauty? Or is it too late for this gorgeous, deeply scarred creature to set aside the painful grip of her past so he can claim her as his own?
